The postpartum period lasts about six weeks, but the body takes longer to recover after childbirth. Even if nothing hurts, that doesn’t necessarily mean everything is fine. A check-up with a physiotherapist gives you certainty about where you are and clear recommendations on how to continue.
What the check-up includes
- pelvic floor function,
- the abdominal wall and any diastasis of the rectus abdominis muscles,
- the scar after a caesarean section or episiotomy,
- breathing and posture,
- recommendations for returning to exercise and sport.
Who it is for
For every woman after childbirth, even when she has no difficulties. It’s especially suitable with urine leakage, a feeling of pressure in the lower abdomen, back or pelvic pain, significant diastasis, or when you want to return to running or more demanding training.
If the examination shows that further work is needed, we’ll follow up with diastasis and pelvic floor therapy.
